    Strawberry and Banana French Toast

    I went there for brunch restaurant wasn't busy. Service was good. The ambiance was great. The food was delicious. Although, I got non-alcoholic pins colada which was wayyyy too sweet to drink. Over all good experience

    Went here in a large group for my sisters brunch bday. I'm judging based on the food they should be good at. Food was mediocre Mexican food. Our group ordered different American breakfast spreads which my family said was good. The Mexican breakfast items needed more flavor and authenticity. The sauces on the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros taste like they use canned tomatoes or canned tomatillos. For a Mexican restaurant I'd imagine they'd make the sauces from scratch. The service was also okay. Pretty slow and there weren't that many guests. Mimosas are also okay. Don't think I'll be back.

    This place is the cutest!! I came here for a girls brunch and it exceeded my expectations. The cocktails were allll super delicious and cute insta worthy! The quesabiirra tacos were also very good. I also order pozole and it was so flavorful. The server was great, very knowledgeable on the menu and gave great suggestions. There was no wait to be seated and the food came out quickly. I will definitely be returning.

    Chorizo & Eggs

    I don't usually go out for breakfast/brunch, but I was going to a church just a few hundred feet away and I have been to Johnny's a couple of times and that other place by the high school. I was greeted after a moment, just after 8:30 when there was only one server working. Two others arrived probably 15 minutes later. It really wasn't much different inside than when it was Johnny's. I even sat at the counter. It feels renewed, not renovated. Having a drink menu at 8:30 in the morning seemed more "Breakfast at Tiffany's" than I considered, even though I knew that they had such a menu. I think I spent too much time thinking about that. I ended up ordering Chorizo & Eggs. That's a first time for me. I was thinking that I spent almost a week in Monterrey, NL, and I couldn't remember anything I ate. The hotel restaurant had Spanish food, and that was 1977. With a name like Querencia (hangout/haunt), I had to try a Mexican breakfast. When the food arrived, she told me that the tortillas would take an extra moment. I asked something silly: "is there a special way to eat the meal?", especially since everything comes with tortillas. She was kind and helpful. The Chorizo & Eggs didn't look as appetizing as I expected it would. The good thing was that it was more like grandma cooked than having a chef. Tell me that you don't like grandma's cooking more. Come on. With the orange juice, it was about $28 and 22% tip put it over $34. The servers all seemed very friendly, and the food was good.

    The location is wierd. They have a banner with the restaurants name over the previous sign the past restaurant had . The place is clean and spacious inside. The food was good. It wasn't the best chicken fried steak i ever had but it was good. The prices weren't bad. I would recommend it to others and I would definitely go back. The service was good as well.

    Guava mimosa

    My friend invited me to breakfast and chose this place she loves it. The service was great. Looked clean and inviting. I got the guava mimosa it was cool. I also got the red and green chilaquiles I honestly preferred the red over the green. I like that they add chorizo to the bottom. The chicken I added was a little dry. My friend ordered the suiza enchiladas they were yummy and came with rice and beans.

    The food choices are on point. Both Mexican and American offerings. The service is also top knotch. From the moment you enter the establishment up to your exit. The place is nice, big and clean. Andrea the server is the best. Will definitely come again.

    Food is always pretty good here.... Customer service is good and they have a pretty big menu....

    Came here with my sister and our boyfriends. The restaurant was packed, but we got in right away. The decor and overall vibes are amazing, but we unfortunately had very slow service. We had to ask/order our coffee 3 times and one of us didn't even get it until we were done eating. Aside from that, the staff were very nice and the food tasted great. I'd like to try this spot again and give the service another chance.

    Bacon & Egg Tacos
    Inglish R.

    Lots of parking available and okay service. There were only two servers working this day so they had their hands tied. My friend and I took a minute to order because we hadn't seen each other in a while. The sever approached us about 4 times asking if we were ready before we finally looked at the menus to order. The server was patient and friendly. Towards the end of our experience it started to get really hot inside. Food was good but I honestly thought it would have been better based off of some videos I saw online. I ordered the bacon and egg tacos which came with hash browns and two small sides of salsa. I didn't eat much of the tortillas. I had to remind the staff that I was my missing hash browns. Once I received them they were really crispy and delicious! My friend ordered the verde chilaquiles with both chorizo and steak. We had to remind the staff of the missing steak. Drinks were good but you could tell this place is known for their mimosas. Almost every table had one or some type of specialty drink on their table. Super cute presentation!

    I came back to finally try the Shrimp Miche!! It was so delicious and I can't wait to come back for it with friends. Service was great as usual but I hope they add another server soon because they get really busy early. It also looked like they added extra decor for cinco de mayo yesterday so they keep up with the ambiance. Another employee mentioned they will soon add outdoor seating in the future. My server was the same lady from 2 weeks ago and they remember me because of the Shrimp Miche ...I tipped her exceptionally well this time around in cash this time so hopefully that makes up for last time. I sat at the counter table near the kitchen so I was able to see them prepare some of the dishes which made me think of coming back to try something else!! Another table had kids and they ordered juice and saw the juice machine squeezing the kids oj juice. The cups were cute with sippy spouts so helpful rather than straws. Speaking of straws, I was sitting next to some and noticed they were heart shaped. I grabbed one to drink my Shrimp Miche

    Andrea was our waitress and she was AMAZING! She took great care of me and my girls. We will be coming back asap! Great atmosphere and even better drinks! Thank you Andrea!!!

Given the multitude of licenses at stake in such enterprises, I wish to share my recent experience at this location. This morning, my husband and I visited, and we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of our orders. He ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk, while I ordered an oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso at a temperature of 200 degrees. He also selected a ham, cheese, and egg croissant, and I opted for a bacon and cheese croissant. Regrettably, the items did not meet our expectations. The beverages lacked the desired strength; although the temperature was correct, I was informed after placing our order that they were out of oat milk and had to substitute it with almond milk. Given that we had already paid approximately $30, this was quite disappointing. Despite these concerns, we did not request a discount or refund, and we accepted the substitution that was communicated to us approximately 10 to 15 minutes after placing our order. On a positive note, the staff were very courteous, and the establishment was clean. However, I suspect that the items we ordered may not represent the best offerings on their menu. While the service was commendable, there was a notable wait involved. It would have been preferable to have been informed of the oat milk shortage prior to payment, as we might have chosen to leave at that point. Unfortunately, our dissatisfaction led us to seek alternative options, and we subsequently drove to Stockton to visit Peet's Coffee, where we consistently find lattes prepared to our liking. While we may not return to this location, I do not wish to portray it negatively. It is clear that the establishment has potential, yet our experience did not align with our expectations.

I'll comment on the taste in a bit but I want to first highlight something I've never experienced. In all my work-from-home years I've never once had to-go experience where the dishes looked like they'd been plated for table service at the restaurant. Sure some stuff shifted in the Dasher's car but it honestly blew me away. Even the drink was carefully wrapped and put in a little box to ensure it wouldn't leak everywhere. As for the important bit, the taste, man... I have had so many amazing Thai meals at places in the bay area and honestly just assumed the most Modesto would get is some great Banh Mi spots. Obviously I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu but my go-to, Tom Kha, this is the best Thai coconut soup I've ever had! The Pad Thai is as good if not better than what I've had in San Francisco as well. I'm really looking forward to bringing friends and family here to check it out in person! Side note... yes, it's also very expensive ordering via Doordash with their added fees but it's 2026 and it's California. So far my multiple orders have been well worth the price and I expect the same experience in person! (just, you know, without the extra Doordash fee nonsense)

After a while, they brought the food to me. The clam chowder was good and there was plenty of meat. Usually, restaurants cheapen the mix with loads of potatoes and a hint of clam. The Caprese Sandwich was also very good. I don't realize that it was supposed to come with mozzarella, and I should not have asked for provolone. (If you know all the places in Philly or Jersey where I got sandwiches, you'll know I have some experience.) Since I didn't want that much sandwich, I couldn't eat it all, and walking, I didn't take the remainder with me. The staff was friendly but I could not hear them half the time.
